           Summary: Apache authentication doesn't properly handle parameters
                    in URL matching
           Product: Apache httpd-2
           Version: 2.2.4
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: P2
         Component: mod_auth
        AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


If a Location block is tagged as requiring auth.
For example
<Location /somewhere>
  AuthName "REalm"
  AuthType Basic
  AuthBasicProvider ldapProvider
  require valid-user
</Location>

A hit to http://server/somewhere or http://server/somewhere/ will be challenged
for authentication.  However
http://server/somewhere;parameter=value will not be challenged.

I believe this is incorrect as per RFC 2396:
3.3. Path Component

   The path component contains data, specific to the authority (or the
   scheme if there is no authority component), identifying the resource
   within the scope of that scheme and authority.

      path          = [ abs_path | opaque_part ]

      path_segments = segment *( "/" segment )
      segment       = *pchar *( ";" param )
      param         = *pchar

      pchar         = unreserved | escaped |
                      ":" | "@" | "&" | "=" | "+" | "$" | ","

   The path may consist of a sequence of path segments separated by a
   single slash "/" character.  Within a path segment, the characters
   "/", ";", "=", and "?" are reserved.  Each path segment may include a
   sequence of parameters, indicated by the semicolon ";" character.
   The parameters are not significant to the parsing of relative
   references.

The last sentence I believe is saying that the parameter is not significant in
terms of the actual referenced path segment.
